Lubeznik Center for the Arts summer classes and camps are open for registration. Kicking off the summer season is Painting for Teens on June 20, a new class for ages 12-17. Young artists will apply traditional techniques on canvas as well as studying several artistic movements and methods in order to inspire students.
Have your child spend their summer by the lake at LCA's summer camps. Culture Club Camp, July 13 - 24 from 9 - 11 AM (CDT), is your child's passport to the world through the arts, crafts, music, and food of Japan, Haiti, North Africa, and Thailand. Famous Artists Camp, August 3 - 7 from 9 - 11 AM (CDT), gives children the opportunity to create their own masterpieces as they investigate well-known artists. Techniques taught will range from botanical drawings to pop sculpture. LCA Education Director, Janet Bloch states, "Our camps offer a wonderful immersion into the arts of other cultures and historic art movements. Students get an education that opens new worlds for them while they have fun."
Adult classes offered at LCA this summer cover painting, photography, art appreciation, writing, hat making, and much more. New this season is Art Journaling taught by local artist, Laurel Izard where students will create and embellish their own art journal. Also new is, Zentangle Methods, a one-day workshop that offers students an easy-to-learn, relaxing, and fun way to create beautiful images by drawing structured patterns. This method is known to increase focus and creativity, along with an increased sense of personal well-being. There are workshops for writers too! In Memoir Writing students will document memories of people, places and events. Students will be encouraged to express themselves in their own writing style for their own personal pleasure, to share with family and friends, or to publish. Also returning is Phoneography. Master the basics of smartphone photography and be on the cutting-edge of the phenomenon sweeping the world.
